OET (OET-LV) gentleness, self-control, against the such things, there_is no law.

OET (OET-RV) gentleness, and self-control—none of Mosheh’s laws are against any of these!

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:13–26: Let the Spirit of God lead you

In this section, Paul talked about what freedom means. He no longer focused on how a person is made righteous. He focused on how a person who has received the righteousness of Christ should live.

Paul told the Galatians that choosing to live their lives in the power of the Holy Spirit would keep them from living sinful lives. It would keep them from living as slaves to the law. A life lived in the Spirit is a life of love for each other.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Follow closely the Spirit of God

Obey God’s Spirit, not your sinful desires

Paragraph 5:22–23

In this paragraph, Paul reminded the Galatians that following the Spirit results in godly character. That godly character is in contrast to the works of the sinful nature.

5:23a

gentleness, and self-control.

gentleness: The Greek word that the BSB translates as gentleness refers to humility and considerateness.

Some other ways to translate this word are:

humility

to be gentle

he is humble/meek

self-control: The Greek word that the BSB translates as self-control refers to being disciplined. It is the strength of character to do what is right to do.

Some other ways to translate this word are:

control of oneself

to be self-disciplined

he controls his desires

he can refuse what his body wants

5:23b

Against such things there is no law.

Against such things there is no law: The phrase such things refers to the fruits of the Spirit mentioned above. There is no law against doing these things. Everyone agrees that these characteristics are good.

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

There is no law against behaving in any of these ways. (CEV)

There are no laws against things like that. (GW)

There is no law that says these things are wrong. (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πραΰτης, ἐνκράτεια

gentleness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πραΰτης ἐγκράτεια κατά τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἐστίν νόμος)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of gentleness, and self-control, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [acting gently, and controlling oneself]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:23 Gentleness is antithetical to the vices of 5:20 and requires strength (see Prov 15:1, 4; Matt 11:28-29; Eph 4:2).
• self-control: The Holy Spirit does not give moral license but empowers people to avoid sin (cp. Gal 5:13; Rom 6:14-18; 1 Thes 4:3-7; 1 Pet 2:16; see also Acts 24:25; Titus 1:8).
• There is no law against these things! Paul is stating the obvious, but also making the point that those who are virtuous by the Spirit do not need law to govern them.
